Those wacky Soongs are at it again, proving that Data's the only good one of the lineage as Eugenics criminal Dr Arik Soong has some genetically engineered children who are out causing diplomatic incidents.That's right, we've got not one, not two but three Enterprise episodes as we watch all of the Augment trilogy in one go. Should they be ranked as one episode or three? How much does this want to be Wrath of Khan? Have they stopped with the whole ‘Space War on Terror' and does Earth look less like a poor Xbox game background?In Borderland, the mission's off to a bad start as Orion slavers abduct a lot of the crew. Then in Cold Station 12 we get one of those TOS-style space stations dedicated to science and a ton of deadly viruses.

The seminal videogame was given the manga treatment in 1999, a lot has changed since then, yet it tells an ancient form of myth that permeates all cultures and spurs on our talk today.   Skip synopsis @ 6:52   Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   123: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Story and Art by Akira Himekawa Based upon the work of Yoshiaki Koizuma, Tôru Ôsawa, Kensuke Tanabe, Yusuke Nakano and Shigeru Miyamoto Translation by John Werry, Honkyaku Center inc. and Steven “Stan!” Brown Lettering by John Hunt   A young boy by the name of Link lives in the elusive kokiri forest, he feels himself to be not like the other elf like inhabitants of his home. At a certain age the Kokiri receive a guardian fairy yet link is often bullied for not having one. It is only when the tribe leader and elder of the forest falls ill that he sends the fairy Navi to Link. Link heeds the call of Navi so to help the leader of his tribe, the great Deku tree.   Although Link defeats the monster residing within the Deku tree, he is unable to save the tree's life. Before it withers, Link is given one of three sacred stones, the stone of   He is also told that the nightmares that plague him are visions of an impending doom and that an evil force has made its move by successfully attacking the Deku tree. Link is also told that he is born of Hylian parents, that he must go to his people and warn the princess of Hyrule, Princess Zelda. And so, Link is given a sword from his former bully, and carves a wooden shield from the remains of the Deku Tree before he sets out on his journey.   Zelda tends to enjoy the company of her subjects by disguising herself as a commoner. She finds Link and sees he is not accustomed to the hustle and bustle of a town square, but they depart when shady types seek out and try to harm the girl, in her haste she drops an ocarina. Eventually Link trespasses on royal grounds and discovers that the girl whom befriended him earlier is in fact Zelda. Link returns the Ocarina that Zelda left behind and she explains to Link how the ocarina is a valuable heirloom.   She tells Link of the nefarious Ganandorf, leader of the Gerudo, who she suspects of conspiracy against her father, the king. She sends Link on a journey to find other sacred stones. If Link succeeds then he will fulfil the prophecy of unlocking the temple of time, and with Zelda's help he will become the hero of time. She also explains the Triforce to Link, three magical relics that allows who ever touches them to recreate the world so that it reflects their heart, or their hatred. She believes this is what Ganondorf is seeking.   Link succeeds in acquiring the stones but on his return to Hyrule, his nightmares have come true. The Kingdom is being attacked on a stormy night. Zelda flees with her bodyguard on horseback. She throws the Ocarina at Link as she is being chased by Ganondorf, whom treats Link with disregard, not knowing the power Zelda has bestowed upon the young boy.     Context:     ·       According to official sources (Hyrule Historia), ‘Ocarina of Time' is a prequel to ‘A Link to the Past' and all previous games in the franchise before 1998. ‘Skyward Sword' which was released in 2011 would replace Ocarina of Time as the new starting point in the franchise. Some games feature the same Link where as others are more so re-incarnations of Link as he appears in ‘Ocarina of Time' an example of this is ‘Wind Waker' where boys wear green when they come of age and the events of Ocarina of Time are mere legend. ·       The videogame crash of the 80's is often described by the legendary anecdote that Atari buried thousands of unsold E.T. cartridges out in a New Mexico desert. On another note, the videogame cartridge was invented by Jerry Lawson for the channel F game console, before Atari's console. ·       Nintendo's revival of the videogame industry from 1983 to 1988 saw them dominate 80% of the market. Whilst in the UK videogames were more of a cottage industry, with Sinclair's ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and the Amiga from Amstrad being successful. BBC Micro from Acorn was an educational device made to teach computer literacy to children, albeit it had games, it was never made to compete with Nintendo. 1990: NINTENDO and the JAPANESE SOFTWARE boom | The Money Programme | Retro Computing | BBC Archive - YouTube ·       Nintendo 64, stepping up to the Playstation (released 93/94) in 1996, shown 3D videogaming done right and with intellectual properties/brands that people notice and care about. Although in Japan Sony was neck and neck competing with Sega. Nintendo's innovation came from its analogue controller and high spec hardware that had a slot for upgrading RAM. However, the weakness of the Nintendo 64 was down to the manufacturing cost of software. With the cartridge format being outdated for the time.   Topics:   ·       What Zelda meant to children in the 90's and our history with the game.   ·       In the game Link is an avatar for us as players, but does the novel take the opportunity to flesh out the character and make him his own person?   ·       Link's popularity with girl characters seems like a heavy male power fantasy then something that has anything worthwhile to say but there is a symbolic take to this too; before Link is ready to be perceived as a capable man, he serves these girls and their affection illustrates him being tested on his growth towards manhood. In other words, a chivalrous man is a heroic one is the perceived message. Link needs to be brave to be loved, and he needs to be loved to succeed.

Hablamos de las primeras horas de The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Platicamos de cómo se compara con Breath of the Wild, experiencias tempraneras y las nuevas formas de juego.

The (New) Joy of Gaming Podcast - Episode Twenty-Seven The Legend of Zelda: Retrospective and Complete Series Chronology (Preparing for Tears of the Kingdom) --- On this episode of The Joy of Gaming Podcast, we are getting ready for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in the most complete way we could think of: by looking back and tracing the entire chronology of The Legend of Zelda series. We track the series' origins on the NES all the way through Breath of the Wild on Switch, discussing each game in release order and also exploring its place in the overall series chronology. So if you have always wondered how the various mainline Zelda titles are connected, this episode has the answers. After all, in 2013, two years after the release of Skyward Sword, Nintendo released the Hyrule Historia, from Dark Horse Books - an epic tome that finally revealed the official order of events for every game in the Zelda franchise. So for our journey, we start with this book, first walking through the three branching paths of the timeline at a high-level before zooming-in to see where each mainline game fits into the overarching narrative.  And once we understand the chronology at a high-level, we travel back to 1986 and the original The Legend of Zelda to begin our complete series retrospective, game-by-game and memory-by-memory. So join us, as we celebrate one of the most storied franchises in all of gaming, and prepare for the next epic chapter in Link and Zelda's adventures.  Run of Show: 00:00 - Introductions / Our History with the Series  10:39 - Background - The Legend of Zelda Chronology Explained (Hyrule Historia) Legend of the Gods and the Hero of TimeThe Hero is SuccessfulAdult Era / Ganondorf Sealed Child Era / The Sacred Realm Protected The Hero is Defeated  21:58 - The Legend of Zelda - Series Retrospective  Mainline Series in Release Order:  The Legend of Zelda (JP - Famicom Disk System - The Hyrule Fantasy: Zelda no Densetsu - 1986; NA & PAL - NES - 1987; Battery save version in Japan - Famicom - 1994) NES Classic Series (Gameboy Advance; JP, NA, PAL - 2004) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (JP - Famicom Disk System - 1987; NA & PAL - NES - 1988) NES Classic Series (Gameboy Advance; JP & NA - 2004; PAL - 2005) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES; JP - 1991; NA & EU - 1992) Gameboy Advance w/ Four Swords (NA - 2002; JP & EU - 2003); Four Swords Re-released on DSiWare (Four Swords Anniversary Ed. - 2011) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Gameboy; JP, NA, EU - 1993) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (Gameboy Color; JP & NA - 1998; EU - 1999) The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Remake for Switch - 2019) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64 - 1998; iQue Player (CHN) - 2003) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest (GameCube; JP - 2002; NA, EU & AU - 2003) - Two-Game Bonus Disc!

Recommended Games to Play First What a Journey  

Majora's Mask is one of the most ambiguous games in Zelda concerning lore, leaving LOTS of room for speculation. Tanner and Timmi share some of their favorite theories about Majora's Mask. Link is Dead Theory: Game Theory: Is Link Dead in Majora's Mask? The most popular theory (or at least one of the early prominent theories) is that Link died in Lost Woods, and Termina is his purgatory where he advances through the five stages of grief to grieve his death. Since he would have died in Lost Woods, this would explain how he became the Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess. Given that Hyrule Historia lists the Hero of Time as Link's ancestor in Twilight Princess, though, this theory isn't likely true. Termina isn't a real place: Zelda Encyclopedia Zelda Encyclopedia claims that Termina was created when the Skull Kid put on Majora's Mask in the Lost Woods, meaning that it only exists in the mind of Skull Kid. It further explains that his friends, the giants, were spirits in the Lost Woods with him. Skull Kid likely had a falling out with them and looted the Happy Mask Salesman in his anger. Those feelings, combined with the power of the mask created Termina. So once Link beats Majora's Mask and leaves Termina, the turmoil in Skull Kid's heart is resolved, and Termina ceases to exist. Stone Tower Temple: Ikana: A War Between Dimensions - Majora's Mask Theory One of the most fascinating places in Termina is Stone Tower, and a popular theory speculates that it was built similar to the biblical Tower of Babel as an act of defiance of God's power. As retribution, the gods of Termina cursed the tower by flipping it upside down. However, a newer theory suggests that the tower was built to intentionally flip upside down in order to reach Hyrule (their heavens). This is evidenced by the strange location of Twin Mold's lair, as well as the fact that Link technically enters Termina upside down deep underground. This theory also speculates that the Garo came from Hyrule to spy on the kingdom of Ikana. Who is Majora? Majora's True Identity? - Zelda Theory - YouTube The biggest question that is never really answered in the game is: who is Majora? Contrary to popular belief, our favorite theory on that topic is that the mask was actually created in Hyrule. The culprit of this is the same tribe that conducted shady interrogations on behalf of the Royal Family: the Sheikah. Their intentions were likely good, as they were likely trying to contain the spirit of a powerful demon. Watch the episode to find out who that spirit is. Who is Happy Mask Salesman? The MYSTERY of The Happy Mask Salesman's Identity! [Zelda Theory] Another intriguing character is the Happy Mask Salesman. It is interesting that you meet him in Ocarina of Time opening a brand-new mask shop, but then you end up meeting him a few months later to find out he'd fled to Lost Woods with a powerful and evil mask. The best theory we've heard is that Happy Mask Salesman was sent by the goddesses to find where the mask was being hidden by the Sheikah, take it, and find a way to destroy it. This would explain his relief at the end of Majora's Mask at finding the evil of the mask destroyed and his disappearance at the end of that cut scene. This episode is rated Die Hard. Discussion topics are very specific around certain aspects of the game, and references may not be familiar even to those who have played the game. There are also spoilers for those who haven't played through the games. We recommend playing through the games from this episode completely before listening. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shortsonline/support

Deep within the shifting sands of the Desert of Doubt, Team Link meets new friends in the Gerudo and Zuna tribes, the latter being the original builders of the Pyramid that Ganondorf has trespassed upon. Following in the mysterious Gerudo tribe member's footsteps, the Links discover the Trident of Power has been removed from it's hidden plinth within the Pyramid. The trident's inscription promises its wielder great power to destroy and corrupt, pressing the Links to quickly free the Purple Maiden and make haste for Frozen Hyrule and the Tower of Winds.  Sit down with your hosts, Shannon and Joe, as they play, discuss and theorize their way through Nintendo's Legend of Zelda video games in the timeline order noted in the Hyrule Historia.

What is Lore? Lore is the collection of knowledge and traditions held by a group of people. In the fantasy genre, it's the building blocks of the world in which a story takes place. Lore plays a large role in the Legend of Zelda series because it connects the games to each other, and it drives the story elements in each game. It also provides fans like us to explore the games even deeper. Two excellent resources that Nintendo has released are Hyrule Historia and Zelda Encyclopedia, both of which are used frequently in this episode. Ocarina of Time has a straightforward lore structure, making it an ideal game to dig into for beginners and diehards alike.  The lore centers around the Triforce, the supreme power left behind by the three goddesses. It can grant the deepest desire of anyone worthy who places their hand on it. However, anyone who touches it and is found to be imbalanced between the three virtues of power, wisdom, and courage causes the Triforce to separate into three pieces. It is kept in the Sacred Realm, which has roots back to the earliest age of Hyrule. In Skyward Sword, Link must endure three trials in a place called the Silent Realm, a reflection of the physical world. It can be speculated that the Silent Realm is in fact the early Sacred Realm. The Triforce is also protected by sages, individuals chosen by the goddesses to guard the Sacred Relam. The ancient sage, Rauru, built the Temple of Time to act as a door to the Sacred Realm. The sages also represent an element of existence: light, forest, fire, water, shadow, and spirit. In Ocarina of Time, Link must awaken each sage, who gives him a medallion signifying their alliance in fighting against Ganondorf. They also collectively have the power to open the doors to the Sacred Realm from the inside, and they must use this power to seal Ganondorf away with the Triforce of Power.  Another mysterious lore piece in Zelda is the Sheikah tribe. In Ocarina of Time, Link learns of an inquisition conducted by the Sheikah tribe where enemies of the Royal Family were interrogated and tortured. Thus, the Shadow Temple stands as a taboo of Hyrule's dark and bloody history. The Sheikah are an ambiguous group of people whose purpose ranges from assassins to messengers to attendants to everything in between.  And finally, there's the timeline split. At the end of the game, Zelda chooses to send Link back in time to reclaim his childhood. This creates a time paradox: Zelda continues to exist in her timeline, but Link goes back and starts a new timeline. This paradox creates a sticky situation with the Triforce. When Link goes back in time having wielded the Triforce of Courage, it is as if he had touched the still-complete Triforce of the past. Since he is imbalanced (dominantly courageous), the Triforce inadvertently splits again, giving an unsuspecting Ganondorf the Triforce of Power as he's being executed in Twilight Princess. In Zelda's timeline, the Triforce of Courage is left suspended without a wielder, so it shatters into eight pieces which the Royal Family collects and hides all over Hyrule for the Hero of Winds to find in Wind Waker. Both Hyrule Historia and Zelda Encyclopedia cover this timeline split in detail. This episode is rated Diehard. Discussion topics are very specific around certain aspects of the game, and references may not be familiar even to those who have played the game. There are also spoilers for those who haven't played through the games. We recommend playing through the games from this episode completely before listening.
